As part of its efforts to help communities adapt to climate change, the European Environment Agency hosted a world film premiere and global network event 'Bend the trend' on 13 December 2009. The event presented three distinct initiatives: One Degree Matters, the social movement 'Bend the trend', and the Environmental Atlas of Europe.

The Environmental Atlas of Europe presents a series of nine stories told through short films, images and texts. They showcase how communities are responding to environmental change across Europe, transforming their lives for a more sustainable future. The Atlas is a joint project of the EEA, the United Nations Environment Programme and the European Space Agency, with Microsoft supporting its presentation on the web.
